Honda Chronicles

Well, it’s boxing day! But, the family stuff still isn’t over yet, and I still don’t know if I’ll be driving to my aunt’s and uncle’s this afternoon. If I do, that’s going to add a good amount of kilometer’s to my Accord!

After getting home last night from a Christmas Dinner at my girlfriend’s grandma’s my Honda Accord is sitting at 354 727 kilometers, that’s 152 more than three days ago.

Attention All Acura and Honda Owners!

I highly suggest going to Honda.com and signing up for Owner Link (located under the services menu) and register your Acura or Honda vehicle. You have the option of putting in your VIN (highly suggested) so you can learn about recalls that may have taken place to your specific vehicle, important service information, plus tons of personalized offers and tips for keeping all your vehicles running their best, plus a lot more! Best of all, it’s FREE to sign up! So, why not?

This is where the Honda sits as of now, lots of driving was done the last few days!  135 Kilometers total since the end of Thursday.

It’s almost Christmas Eve! Merry Christmas everyone, or Happy Holidays, which ever suits you best ;). Thanks for reading.

354 44 kilometers, this is where I was at the end of Thursday night.

Another couple days gone by with some more driving. The Honda now sits at 354 313 kms, that’s 90 kms more than 2 days ago. Most of it was from Tuesday when I went into town to go X-Mas shopping. I’ll be doing a lot more driving once school comes back in the new year so, don’t worry I’ll also be driving some more tomorrow when I go into town for more shopping (the holidays is a wonderful time isn’t it?).

These aren’t just Honda Accords, they are Cb7s (1990-1993 Accords), this is where style, class, and power come together. Some people look down upon Accords, I don’t know why, but all I know is I love mine and those who have one love theirs. Plus, just drive anywhere and you’re bound to see one eventually, they’re everywhere!

Here’s a thread at Honda-Tech of some of the best, cleanest, and finest CB7s you’ll ever see. The above pictures are just some examples.

That’s right, a man named Keith Inman from Waterville decided to attach a homemade snowplow to his 1998 Civic.

YANKEE INGENUITY: Keith Inman on Sunday cleans snow from his homemade snow plow that he built and mounted on his Honda Civic. Inman was clearing snow behind his apartment on Summer Street in Waterville. Inman said he used a snowblower housing attached to a tractor frame and bolted to his car. The unit has wheels and can effectively push snow. “The only drawback is I can’t hit a snowbank hard or the car airbags could go off,” Inman said. It works OK.” (source)

Wow, that’s all I got to say. I do give him props though since he has had three strokes, chronic pain in his hands, and been advised to take it easy and rest. So, at least he can still get up and do something. But I mean a Civic? I’m all about Honda don’t get me wrong, but not when it comes to plowing snow.

What is it?

One of Honda’s newest concept vehicles, the FCX Clarity is a ZERO Emissions sedan. I had only recently heard of this car while browsing the internet, I don’t know why I haven’t heard of it until now, but I can tell you I’m very impressed with it.

In developing the FCX Clarity, Honda
has managed to strike the perfect
balance between futuristic technology
and the very human desire for a thrilling ride. The result amounts to
zero emissions and maximum driving experience.

Yes, the FCX Clarity is the car of the future, but it’s ready for the road in 2008. (source)

The Honda FCX Clarity is powered by an electric motor. No matter what you drive, it’s going to have a motor of some sort, obviously. The difference in this case of the FCX Clarity motor is Honda’s Vertical Flow (V-Flow) fuel cell stack…
